The News has gracefully come downfrom its perch in ridicule of the silvermovement in the democratic party andadmits that the silver wing of theparty will control the democraticnational convention. Silver isn't so"dead" an issue as it was a few monthsago. -

A full delegationof free coinage advocates were electeddelegates to the national convention.Wall street financiers stood no show inthat gathering, but a strong 1G to 1

platform was adopted.

The president has sent to the senatethe nomination of Fitz Hugh Lee to beconsul general at Havanna, Cuba, viceRamon O. Williams, resigned.

McKialej's AmbiguityIs Mr. McKinley's financial platform

clean and logical ? To me it seems asambiguous as a Delphic oracle. liesays "We want good money, made ofthe two metals, gold and silver, bothof the same value in debt paying andpurchasing power." This is fine talk,but how is Mr. McKinley going tomake the two dollars have the samecommercial value? Will he putenough silver into the silver dollar, tomake its commercial value equal tothe present gold dollar, or will he stealfrom the populists their fiat and put itonto the silver dollar, to make it andthe gold dollar at parity ? Which ?

Officer Fitzpatrick captnred threeboys up in the B. & M. railroad yardson Tuesday. They gave their namesas Joe O'Brien, Frank Hall and Chas.Hall. Joseph was apparently abouttwelve years old, the other two aboutfourteen, and they gave their home asNebraska City. It seems that theboys came up from the City last nighton the Iowa side of the river, crossedhere, and got as far as La Flatte ontheir way to Omaha, when they wereput off by a heartless brakeman, anddecided to return home via the" Walk'er" route. They were very re-pent- ent

and tearful when overhauledby the officer, and begged to be al-lowed to continue their stroll towardthe sunny south, and were accordedthe privilege.

WHAT OTOE THINKS.

From the Nebraska City News.Lancaster and Cass made the tie-u- p

and Bud Lindsay represents the republicans of those two counties at St.Louis. He does not represent the district or the people.

Col. Druesdow was a good guesserwhen he predicted yesterday thatLindsay and Dovey would be the delegates to the republican national convention from this congressional district.

The republican firm of Lindsay &Dovey may do business for the republicans of this congressional district,but the respectable portion of the republican party vow that it will costCongressman Strode and other republican candidates that come up thisfall many votes.

The republicans everywhere in thissection of the state are a decidedlysick lot over Bud Lindsay beingcrowded down their neck: as a delegate to the national republican convention. They would not perhaps havegagged so had it been a half way de-

cent negro, but this reneeade makesthem decidedly nauseated. Theypromise to make it warm for any can-didate that may come up for officefrom either Cass or Lancaster county.
